Making it Work was born out of conversations within the community when looking at the challenges people living with HIV, hepatitis C and other associated—and complex—social and health issues face every day. These discussions led to a realization that we need to better understand whether people facing these challenges experience better outcomes when they access services from organizations that approach care through an Indigenous view of health and wellbeing and link case management services with community development programs. Surveys, focus groups and community conversations included the voices of people with lived and living experiences (PWLLE) and service providers. This Guidebook serves to share their knowledge and bring their expertise to practice.
The Guidebook is intended to:
- share the knowledge given by participants for organizations and service delivery;
- shares how to ‘make it work’, in terms of themes discovered from the study;
- provide an actionable resource for organizations and service providers.
Throughout the Guidebook information is shared from PWLLE through guiding themes, organizational spotlights, and resources organized in terms of learning, training, and participation. The guidelines are interconnected and therefore user friendly to incorporate into organizations and service delivery. This Guidebook invites possibilities to organizations and service providers to explore!
